How to read these listings

Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Tennessee Department of Health in Union City, a public health department where STI care sits alongside TB, family planning, and hepatitis programs: meaning gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and all hepatitis strains are tested and treated on a sliding scale, with appointments required and all services at no fee.

Every Service Runs Without a Patient Bill

The Tennessee Department of Health in Union City is funded and structured so that HIV testing, STI treatment, hepatitis care, PrEP, and vaccines, including HPV and hepatitis A and B, are each delivered without a charge to the patient. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, and the sliding scale covers anyone else, collapsing the fee entirely rather than reducing it.

Interpretation Services Extend Across Every Clinical Encounter

Interpretation services are available for non-English languages across the department's full range of care: meaning HIV counseling, TB treatment discussions, PrEP initiation, and STI follow-up are all accessible in the patient's language without rerouting to a separate appointment or service point.

No Gap Between Prevention Need and Prescription

Without on-site PrEP and PEP access, a patient leaves a testing visit with a gap between a confirmed risk and actual prevention. That gap is where exposure happens. Tennessee Department of Health in Union City prescribes and manages both directly, so prevention begins at the same appointment where risk is assessed.

STDs & HIV in Obion County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Obion County, the county that includes Rives, compare with Tennessee and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~36% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.

Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Obion County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Rives, TN

South 1st Street runs through a Rives where most households own their homes and rents stay well below what you'd pay in larger Tennessee cities: that affordability draws families, and the average household here runs nearly four people. That density of shared living, combined with a sizable share of residents in their late teens and twenties still forming relationships and building routines, means routine STI screening touches more lives than it might in a quieter demographic mix. The options listed on this page require a drive, and for a household watching a modest rent or stretching a single income across several family members, taking time off work to travel for a test is a genuine cost, not just an inconvenience.

Obion County's STI picture gives younger adults in Rives a practical reason to stay current with screening regardless of symptoms. Several of the listings here offer low- or no-cost options and extended hours, which means the drive to wherever the nearest site sits can at least be planned around a shift rather than requiring one to be missed.

Confidentiality & consent in Tennessee

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Tennessee law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Tennessee, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

Tennessee permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.

Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
